Man I'm super interested in this hardware, if GrapheneOS supported FP it would be a no brainer for me.
I believe the reason they don't is because:
I'm honestly surprised GOS hasn't supported the FP yet. CalyxOS has for about a year or so now, and I imagine they'll support the FP 5 too.
Graphene developers might support it, its their kind of crazy, as long as the hardware security updates keep getting released for long enough to make it worth while (2028 which yeah... why not).
The security updates I'm guessing are probably good enough. But possibly a bigger issue is this phone not being avalible in the US, supposing the Graphene Devs are there too (no clue where they are, just guessing).
